Estes Phoenix Bird Finished






Lessons learned:
This new, harder "balsa" may better withstand a hard landing but is difficult to fill and smooth.
Self adhesive wraps will never go on perfect, you can get them close though. Just be sure your underlying surfaces are clean before applying.
Two fins are left black, two fins get stickers on both sides.

TIP: Next time I would center the two main body wrap "birds" (picture at upper right) over the two fins without the stickers.
